I’m not in the market for a new series right now. The fact this can be read as a stand alone novels is promising, though, even if I’m not a big fan of romance.

The plot is enthralling, and the cover page is captivating. It seems there was good character development in this book because I noticed the consistency in Madison's behavior. It would be interesting to know what will happen to her after the kidnapping.

Although this sounds like a book that will hold your attention throughout, I don't care for the idea of sexual acts and vulgarity. I believe this will be a great read for those who are not bothered by those aspects of the book! Thanks for the great review!

This sounds like a book full of trauma. Poor Madison has a rough time with her assault and kidnapping. I am hoping for a happy ending, but I’ll probably pass on this one.

This is an interesting plot, but it seems extremely dramatic. Not my taste, but great review and summary.

The author captures your attention within the first few words of the book. And your caught up in a whirlwind within the first few paragraphs. It’s definitely a “on the edge of your seat” book

It's not easy to get over someone with whom you have invested emotions. I can really relate to Madison's dilemma. However, I'm interested in the romantic story building up. It promises to be a great ride.

Stories such as this gives me joy. Madison did not allow what happened to her deprive her of achieving her dreams. Thank for a great review.
